Poured a dark amber color with a thin head. Smelt of malt and citra hops. A little heavier than a normal session IPA and has a stronger malt profile than many as well. Finishes well.

Shipyard Island Time is called "session IPA" by the brewers. I think a better description would be a solid British style session pale ale. The body is a nice amber, and there is some malt body that is often missing in the modern IPA. The malt is accompanied by a good hop character. The 4.5% alcohol is a good level for those of us who might want to have two or three. This brew is an enjoyable session ale, and would go with a hearty meal as well.

Hazy, quite pale, thin white head; Has a good IPA smell; Not a lot of flavor for an IPA, with just a touch of that characteristic hoppy IPA bitterness; smooth mouthfeel, lightly carbonated. Not bad, certainly better than most mainstream American beers.

Amber orange color with a thin head with good retention.
Aroma with notes of lime, pine extract, tangerine, grass, dough and some medicine.
Flavor with notes of medicine sourness, lemon concentrate, melon and white pepper. Dry and bitter aftertaste. Though, it feels lower than its 38 IBUs.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Although this Session IPA has Amarillo, Citra and Simcoe, I could swear it screams Sorachi. Green, spices and lime citrusy flavors predominating. Though it has a slight awkward tartness that may contribute to those notes. Was this a beginning of contamination?
